Yeah. I'm new and asking a dumb question. But how do I do a side view sprite, I can do front and back just fine, but I cant make the side view look like a human. It either looks nothing like the character, or ends up a stick figure. Could some people share their techniques and maybe put up a picture of the front view and a side view of one of their sprites? Thanks.

Not that I'm any sort of authority in this area, but I think the trick is to cheat a little with the perspective. Instead of drawing him side on, draw him slightly turned so that you can see both legs and his chest is at least a few pixels wide. It's quite hard to get a "correct" side view without doing this.

This is a good example, from a project that was posted here a while ago called Heros of Allacrost:



And by the way, welcome. :)
